Flexo Plate Analyzer 

 

Beta Flex 334 Flexo Analyzer


How it works

A Color camera captures high resolution images of film, laser masks, and plates by transmitted light, and proofs, prints and offset plates by reflected light.
The included software located the dots and determines area, ruling, and more. Data and images can be saved and printed for documentation. Operation is quick, clean, accurate, and operator independent.
 
Betaflex 334 Flexo Analyzer 

A desktop instrument with Windows software for analysis of dot  area,  screen ruling, dot size, dot diameter, edge factor, ink void factor, mottle, and more on halftone films, photopolymer plates, laser ablation masks, offset plates, halftone proofs, and press sheets.  Automatic data collection and image capture using a USB interface.

Fully automatic flexographic analysis has been raised to a new level. The new Betaflex 334 offers increased resolution, full color image capture and analysis, and extraordinary ease of use. Track halftone changes from the film to the flexo plate and all the way to the press. Measure true dot area, screen ruling, Contour Factor, and more.  The tabletop inspection unit captures a high-resolution image of any film, translucent flexographic or letterpress plate, offset plate, color proof, or press sheet.

Measure all types of flexo plates regardless of color, gauge, or washout depth. Plates produced with solvent, water, and thermal washout systems can be measured to less than a 1% dot.  Laser ablation masks and plates are evaluated for dot area, ruling, and dot quality more accurately than can be determined with a densitometer.

Image preview and analysis is carried out on a PC using a convenient USB interface.  Images are captured, automatically analyzed, and optionally stored and printed on the PC. The new FlexoEye software runs under Windows 2000 and offers a host of new features including stochastic screen analysis, single dot coverage, and more.

The LED illuminator and color camera capture film and photopolymer plate images by transmitted light. Offset plates, proofs, and color prints are imaged with reflected light at over 10,000 dpi.

The Video Micrometer makes it possible to measure any feature on an image; bar codes, line weight, dot diameter, etc. True halftone shoulder angle can be measured directly on a plate cross section with the Video Protractor.

Complete fingerprint analysis and plotting in minutes instead of days with the Automatic Data Collection function. Film, plate, and print data is automatically written to a data file, complete with time and date stamp. Process the file with MS Excel to produce cutback curve plots and dot gain analysis. Drop the saved images directly into the spreadsheet for illustration. 

Now complete reprographic analysis is available for the entire process, all on one convenient instrument, all with laboratory accuracy, and all without optical dot gain.
